Abstract: Metric (e.g., body size) and meristic (e.g., bristle number) traits are of general use in quantitative genetic studies, and the phenotypic variance is subdivided into a genetic and a non-genetic environmental component. The non-genetic variance… read more here.

Abstract: In drosophilids, competition and coexistence can impact survivorship, growth, and reproductive output. Here, we evaluated direct competition between two co-occurring fruit flies, the spotted-wing drosophila Drosophila suzukii and the African fig fly Zaprionus indianus, comparing… read more here.
